On a recent episode of Barefoot Contessa [1], I watched Ina Garten [2] make the fluffiest-looking mashed potatoes. She used a food mill [2] to get the texture of the potatoes perfect.

I've always considered food mills to be old-fashioned and unnecessary, but after watching Garten make her pillowy potatoes, I found myself wanting one.

What do you think? Do you have a food mill?
